Hello everyone i'm just curious under the setting for Remote retrieval when not selecting "keep messages on server?" un checked actually delete the waiting message? because i have done some test and the message gets a retrieval but it also leaves the original without erasing it. im curious is this a bug or a parameter in admin that i need to adjust?
Hi all, would anyone know why webcit is so persnickety? Every time I apt update/upgrade my server the below errors appear.

Subject: CPU Spikes.. Default admin username and the bloody Russians..
Just found this after a new ezinstall..
I was concerned about a cpu spike from webcit.. up to 98%, but only over https..
I am thinking there might be some relation between that an an rsync/scp going on the same box.
Webcit https seems to spike when an ssl intensive activity is happening, but I didn't find it in the logs.
But then that may only be a coincidence, since I also found "Russians"
[My original thinking was to leave this install as default as possible, so I didn't change the "admin" username like I usually do. But did change the password.]
Could this attack be targeted at Citadel, and Webcit specifically?
Also, what is up with UID "-1"??
Clearly from Russia.. drilling me non-stop.

Hello everyone i'm just curious under the setting for Remote

If you're remote-retrieving from a POP3 server then yes, Citadel will issue a delete command to the remote server. If the option is not selected, messages will not be deleted from the remote server. However, the behavior of the remote server may default to some other behavior.

The packages are not exactly fresh. You might consider using our distribution (Easy Install) instead. It will operate independently of your package management system.

It looks to me like someone is hunting for open proxies. Why they are stuck in a loop on your site ... who knows ... maybe Citadel confuses their scanner?
UID "-1" means that there is no UID on the underlying operating system associated with the Citadel account in question.

Subject: Re: CPU Spikes.. Default admin username and the bloody Russians..
I got sick of messing around with them and wrote a basic fail2ban filter, its posted in the Security room.
Spent some time to try and determine if there was anything really specific to Citadel, as though it was being targeted..
It "felt" like it, but I can't say definitively.
It's not hard to "enumerate" users with a big list of usernames.. try to send mail by smtp, and just keep a list of the good users for each box.. it's child's play.. we did that years and years ago..
Anyway.. trying to build some kind of real security perspectve, not just be dramatic..
:)
Also, very interesting about uid -1.. Thanks Art!

Hi, I just installed Citadel for use in my club ham radio mesh network.
But I wonder if Citadel is available in other languages (some don't speak English).

Subject: I installed citadel. How do I open admin area?
The title pretty much says it. I installed the program on Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP and I can't figure out how to get to the admin of the program. I think its called Webcit, but how do you access it?
Subject: Re: I installed citadel. How do I open admin area?
see if webcit is running..
ps aux | grep webcit
netstat -lnp
should be running on the port(s) you chose during setup..
something like that..
it's actually two services.. webcit-http and webcit-https
cd /etc/
grep -i 'webcit' # should tell you something..
once you get it open in a web browser, log in using the username and password you specified during setup. admin/citadel is the default.
The Administartion button is in the left column under 'Advanced' if the account has privileges.

Hi all,
Set up citadel mail server on Raspberry pi 4 everything work well i can send and receive mail but with this nasty annoyance because i dont have ssl.
I not got ssl cert from a certificate authority.
I cant figure out where i put this cert and the other files.
Can someone point me where i should place my certificate.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Del
do you have a certificate? If not, check out let'sencrypt. You can make them with certbot.
Then.. assuming you used easyinstall..
root@mail:/usr/local/citadel/keys# tree
.
├── citadel.cer
├── citadel.key
same structure for webcit
citadel.cer is the certificate (use fullchain.pem if you have it)
citadel.key is your private key.
Your files should be copied (not linked) to both locations, with those exact names.
then (as root)
chown root:staff *
chmod 600 *
-rw------- 1 root staff 3.5K Jul 8 20:20 citadel.cer
-rw------- 1 root staff 1.7K Jul 12 07:46 citadel.key
/usr/local/citadel/keys is for your mail server (imap/smtp)
/usr/local/webcit/keys is for https on webcit
restart your machine (or the services)
then re-connect with your mail client, and browser.. and check your new cert.

Subject: Re: New Fail2ban filter for Citadel .. in the citadel Security room.
I wonder if it will be possible to whitelist the IP of our company in
the script. Sure, for testing I can try a blocking of a few minutes (1
minute tops), but if tests are done or by mistake we write a wrong
password when configuring a new client, this would block ALL users who
are behind the correct IP.

HI s3crt3o!
Yes, you can add
ignoreip =
To your jail.conf (or jail.local), then restart fail2ban.
but even so, you might want to set up a dev box for testing on any inexpensive vps.. just a few cents to install citadel, fail2ban and test, then take a snapshot and shut it down..
Also, you might like to familiarize yourself with the fail2ban client.. it lets you list the jails and display information about them.. also, a relatively easy "unban" action..
root@mail:~# fail2ban-client status Status |- Number of jail: 2 `- Jail list: citadel, sshd root@mail:~# fail2ban-client status citadel Status for the jail: citadel |- Filter | |- Currently failed: 0 | |- Total failed: 8 | `- File list: /var/log/syslog `- Actions |- Currently banned: 0 |- Total banned: 0 `- Banned IP list: root@mail:~# fail2ban-client set citadel unbanip <ipaddress>
Some of the details will be version/distro dependent..but that's probably the simplest way to keep you from needing to hack around in iptables..

https://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Whitelist
Whitelisting
Whitelisting is setup in the jail.conf file using a space separated list.
[DEFAULT]
# "ignoreip" can be an IP address, a CIDR mask or a DNS host. Fail2ban
will not
# ban a host which matches an address in this list. Several addresses
can be
# defined using space separator.
ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/24 8.8.8.8
# This will ignore connection coming from common private networks.
# Note that local connections can come from other than just 127.0.0.1, so
# this needs CIDR range too.
ignoreip = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16
